Features: This book is a scholarly work that achieves significant results in the study of Shiji from the perspective of textual criticism. The entire book consists of 18 articles, which can be divided into three groups: Group 1 includes 9 articles, exploring major and highly debated issues in the study of Shiji; Group 2 comprises 4 articles, focusing on the sources of Shiji and related topics; Group 3 contains 5 articles, covering textual studies of Shiji's compilation style and influence research. From the issues discussed, Professor Zhao Shengqun demonstrates a broad academic vision, a valuable spirit of innovation, and a deep pioneering spirit, showcasing a pragmatic research attitude. In terms of research methodology, the author emphasizes three combinations: macro-level grasp combined with micro-level studies, textual criticism combined with theoretical exploration, and quantitative analysis combined with qualitative analysis. The book not only provides detailed discussions on important issues but also highlights the elucidation of challenging topics. It offers both macro-level "critical remarks on compilation style" and overall grasp, as well as micro-level "explorations and indexes" for specific analysis, which is expected to promote the in-depth study of Shiji and academic research.
